I’ve been making a few changes around these parts, most notably splitting off my web design business from my pastel art website. It’s taken nearly three months (because I’ve been so busy, a good thing!) but the site is finally up. Hallelujah!

I have several creative blogs on my RSS reader and I love browsing through the suggestions and articles. But sometimes I wonder if I am spending too much time reading and not enough time painting! Recently, I paired them down to just a few I can’t not read…

EmptyEasel.com - This site is packed with helpful tips about selling/promoting your art online, mixed with reviews of other artists and art history lessons.

FreelanceSwitch.com - This website is geared toward graphic and web design, but I find that many of the principles could easily apply to artists who do commission work.

Living the Creative Dream - I wish Holli would update everyday, but there are a ton of resources on her page for artists starting out on their own.
